Chapter 14: The Battle Reaches Its Peak!
BOOM!
The Azure Sky Sect's Grand Arena trembled as Jiang Tian's full power erupted like a sun in human form. The sheer force of his golden aura sent shockwaves across the battlefield, making even the strongest disciples step back.
Leon Xian felt the pressure instantly.
It was unlike anything he had faced before.
But instead of fear—
He grinned.

The Sect Holds Its Breath
The audience was in complete shock.
"Jiang Tian is getting serious?!"
"He hasn't used his full power in years!"
"Leon might have copied his techniques, but this… this is different!"
Even the sect elders were tense.
Grand Elder Huang's expression darkened. "Jiang Tian's Solar King Battle Physique… it's not something that can be copied easily."
Elder Mo muttered, "Even if Leon has the same technique, he lacks experience using it."
But in the VIP Pavilion, one person wasn't worried.
Qin Yue.
She watched the fight closely, her icy blue eyes locked onto Leon.
She had seen something the others hadn't realized yet.
Leon wasn't just copying techniques.
He was adapting them.
And that terrified her.
---
Jiang Tian's True Strength!
Jiang Tian cracked his knuckles, his smile growing wider.
"You're strong," he admitted. "Stronger than anyone expected."
Leon smirked. "I get that a lot."
Jiang Tian laughed. "But let's see how you handle this."
He vanished.
BOOM!
In an instant, Jiang Tian reappeared above Leon, his entire body glowing like a miniature sun.
"Divine Solar Palm!"
A massive golden hand descended from the sky, carrying enough force to shatter mountains!
Leon's eyes flickered.
Now we're talking.
BOOM!
Instead of dodging—
Leon raised his own hand.
Golden energy surged.
"Divine Solar Palm!"
BOOM!!!
The two identical attacks collided, sending a shockwave so powerful that it shattered the arena floor beneath them!
The watching disciples screamed, shielding their eyes from the blinding explosion of light.
And when the dust settled—
Leon stood completely unscathed.
Jiang Tian's smile faltered.
"What…?"
Leon stretched his arms casually. "I told you. Your techniques? They're mine now."
Jiang Tian's eyes flickered with something new.
Excitement.
This… this was real.
---
The Peak of Battle!
Jiang Tian's golden aura flared, his power surging even higher.
"I was hoping you'd say that."
BOOM!
Jiang Tian moved, faster than before, appearing in front of Leon in an instant!
His fist shot forward like a meteor—
Leon dodged, barely, feeling the air crack around him.
BOOM!
Jiang Tian didn't stop. He unleashed a barrage of attacks, each one carrying the force of a thousand explosions!
Leon's body blurred, dodging, weaving—adapting.
His movements became faster, his counterattacks sharper.
He wasn't just copying Jiang Tian anymore.
He was surpassing him.

The Moment That Changed Everything
Jiang Tian stepped back, breathing heavily.
Leon?
He wasn't even tired.
The realization hit everyone at the same time.
"He's… catching up to Jiang Tian."
"No. He's not catching up…"
"He's overtaking him."
Even Jiang Tian knew.
But instead of fear, he started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA!"
Leon raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"
Jiang Tian wiped the sweat from his brow. "I haven't had a fight like this in years."
He pointed at Leon. "I like you."
Leon smirked. "I get that a lot, too."
Jiang Tian's golden aura flickered—then faded.
He took a deep breath and stepped back.
Then—
He bowed slightly.
"You win."
The arena fell into absolute silence.
Jiang Tian… had surrendered.
Leon Xian had just defeated the Rank #1 disciple of the Azure Sky Sect.

The Aftermath: The Sect's New King!
The silence was broken by an explosion of cheers.
"HE DID IT!"
"LEON XIAN DEFEATED JIANG TIAN!"
"HE'S THE STRONGEST DISCIPLE NOW!"
The elders were speechless.
Elder Mo gritted his teeth. "This… this shouldn't be possible."
Grand Elder Huang let out a deep breath. "It doesn't matter if it should be possible. It just happened."
Jiang Tian laughed again, patting Leon's shoulder.
"You're a monster."
Leon grinned. "Takes one to know one."
But then—
A voice interrupted.
"It seems… I've been gone too long."
BOOM!
A terrifying aura erupted from above, sending chills down everyone's spine.
A new figure descended from the sky.
He was tall, wearing deep crimson robes, his piercing golden eyes looking down on them all with absolute dominance.
The entire sect fell silent.
And then, someone whispered the name.
"That's… that's the Sect Master's son…!"
"Ren Tianlan… the True Disciple!"
Leon grinned.
A new challenge had arrived.
And he was ready.
